english project 3 (2010-11)

Environmental problems


We all know the world has its problems, particularly where the environment is concerned. But not too many of us know the details, and the stories behind those problems. With this project you'll learn about some of them.


tasks

  1. Make groups of three or four.
  2. Choose an environmental problem from the resources list.
  3. Find information about it.
  4. Make a poster, a video or a powerpoint with your information. You must include:


    - information -

    Explain the problem with the help of pictures, diagrams, videos, etc. You may also need to explain the meaning of some words you are going to use.








    - tips to help solve the problem -

    Give advice and make rules using modal verbs
    .


    - an activity for your classmates -

    After your presentation, the rest of the class will have to show that they have understood it by doing an easy activity (say
    if some sentences are true or false, complete sentences with vocabulary from the presentation, match vocabulary to pictures, etc.).


  5. Present your project to the class (presentation tips).

resources

Once you know which environmental problem you are going to work with, click on the numbers on the right to find information about it.

Hey, possibly this post is not on topic but in any event, I have been browsing about your site and it looks really neat. It is easy to see I am creating a new blog and I am struggling to make it look great, and supply excellent subject matter. I have learned a lot here and I look forward to additional updates and will be returning.
